Meld both alan93rsa and my posts together and we are both aiming for the same explanation. The rain grooves will pull your tires in a direction. I meet up with this at the 91 and 57 crossroads where the Z simply started changing lanes as it was following old lane grooves after Caltrans had changed the road. Weird feeling to say the least. If you ride a motorcycle it can be even worse.

I had a 1990 Sentra. Freeway rain grooves, the front end would catch and twitch. It was like the seam of the tire, was riding in the rain groove. It was nerve wrecking sometimes.
